Notes

Pub church fan favorite, Neil Blumofe, will join us again, this time to teach our pub church congregation a thing or two about Hanukkah. Joining us for this energetic finale will be Austin’s own Jewish music project, Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour. Join us for the exciting conclusion of our fall season!

Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour is a traditional Jewish music project, started in 2007 by Samantha Goldberg. Dylan M. Blackthorn, & Kronk (Sick). The band has traveled the world in many formations, learning tunes and the history/context of klezmer music and Yiddish folksongs. From Texas to Manhattan to Poland to Greece, they have played sold out venues, busked on the street, and shared Jewish music with many people. Mazel Tov Kocktail hour has studied in-depth with Sherry Mayrent of the Mayrent Institute for Yiddish Culture for most of their existence. They have been featured at the SA International Accordion Festival, Pecan St. Festival, Houston Pride Parade, Honk TX festival, many Jewish weddings all across the country, Bar/Bat Mitzfahs, as part of services and festivals at congregation Agudas Achim, schools, synagogues, churches, clubs, bars, cafes, birthday parties, dogs’ birthday parties, interfaith events, and anywhere else music can be played.
